Hi All,

Freeglut is not installing I even reinstalled GLU.

Here are a couple of printouts:

Freeglut problem


freeglut-3.0.0/include/GL/freeglut_std.h:144:13: fatal error: GL/glu.h: No such file or directory




GLU install :


Libraries have been installed in:
/lib

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the '-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
- add LIBDIR to the 'LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
during linking
- use the '-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to '/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
/bin/mkdir -p '/include/GL'
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./include/GL/glu.h ./include/GL/glu_mangle.h '/include/GL'
/bin/mkdir -p '/lib/pkgconfig'
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 glu.pc '/lib/pkgconfig'
make[1]: Leaving directory '/sources/glu-9.0.1'

Have no idea how to do the linking so freeglut finds it .
I have never been able to solve it. I run into it every install and I did
install all depends

Thanks for the help and directions

Found the answer. Glu install:

./configure --prefix=$XORG_PREFIX --disable-static &&
make
should been --prefix=/usr

I don't like the instructions surrounding that package. XORG_PREFIX isn't always set once you're done building the X11 stack and some of the instructions are old or nonsensical. For instance, in chapter 24.0:

Doesn't make any sense if XORG_PREFIX is /usr.

And that QT-5 messes me up :

If you have changed the bindir above, QT5BINDIR will need to be adjusted below. Be sure that the QT5BINDIR variable is defined in root's environment and as the root user:

QT5BINDIR=$QT5PREFIX/bin ???

install -v -dm755 /usr/share/pixmaps/ &&


install -v -Dm644 qttools/src/assistant/assistant/images/assistant-128.png \
/usr/share/pixmaps/assistant-qt5.png &&

I have always had trouble with this and vlc working with a GUI.

Skip the step about creating the symlinks specifically for vlc, those haven't been needed since QT5 was originally released. I've not done that step in years. Additionally, I build my QT5 in modules, rather than all at once, which greatly simplifies the build order.
